This patient underwent a vertical reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction) to decrease the size of her breasts and alleviate her symptoms of discomfort from the large breasts.  Visually, this brings her breast size into aesthetic balance with her torso.  The reduction gives an uplifted appearance and better shape to the breasts.  The vertical technique also involves a smaller total incisional length with a complete avoidance of the traditional inframammary incision.

Breast Augmentation and Enhancement with breast implants placed
below the muscle through a small (<1 inch) incision. The result
matches the patients goals for a large breast contour, both full and
round. Dr. Mentz trained with the inventors of breast implants from
1989 to 1991 and has special experience with breast enhancement.
